The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings described Shepp's Parker readings as "irregular pearls with a raw, slightly meretricious beauty," and called the first three tracks "first rate, with Byard and McBee birling through the changes at a furious lick, and Haynes crowding the saxophonist through each of his choruses."[2]

Garaud MacTaggart of MusicHound Jazz stated that the sidemen "push Shepp to perform these bop classics at his best," and noted that "Byard is especially effective in his solo spots" while McBee and Haynes "keep the pulse cruising."[4]
